It’s been almost a year since we began Book Review Week. If you’re not familiar with it, we posted daily for six days once a month book review from Lisa, Rachel, and our fabulous guest reviewers. It was a chance to share our love of books, discover new reads, and for me, I met quite…… Continue reading Book Review Week Takes a Holiday
I started to read this book after my niece recommended it to me and I borrowed hers until I had my own copy. It wasn’t the sort of book I would actually read, and if my niece hadn’t have recommended it to me, I most probably wouldn’t have even looked or bothered with it. At first…… Continue reading [Guest Book Review by Sharon Harvey] The Widow by Fiona Barton
Let’s try this again. Shall we? You know how we can sometimes get caught up on the “busyness” of it all and wish for a simpler life? That wasn’t this. But, I did learn something interesting about how we respond to things today. Quite by accident, this post went out with no content and yet…… Continue reading [Book Review] The Revenge of Analog – Real Things and Why They Matter by David Sax

ARC, if you’re not familiar, stands for Advanced Reader Copy. Essentially, it means a reader can read a book by an author, even…… Continue reading [Book Review] Death Returns by J.S. Peck
The Broadcast by Liam Falkov takes us on a journey of mystery, shadow intrigue, and a host of characters who are at first, seemingly unconnected. Secrets are the biggest obstacle, it would seem, toward the main character’s wishful lives. Though there are quite a few characters to help the story and give it meat, the…… Continue reading The Broadcast by Liam Falkov (Book Review)
Have you ever read a book so good, you wanted to read it again? Me, too! And in two different mediums as well. My first reading of Paul Adam’s book, The Rainaldi Quartet was on Kindle for PC, a couple of years ago. Then, last year, imagine my surprise at finding it in print at…… Continue reading The Rainaldi Quartet by Paul Adam (Book Review)
The Child is told from a different approach this time – working through the papers and looking through a journalists’ eyes. It was exciting to see things from their point of view. So, I got very excited by this book. Each character had their own chapter, in order to tell their stories more deeply.

Sometimes we come across books in our lives, or maybe more often than we think, which are meant to share, guide, and teach just in time lessons for life. Such was the case with this book, as at the time, I was thinking about applying for the Nine Dots Prize.
